Pressure regulators prevent a variety of issues, including:
- Water hammer in the pipes
- Dripping faucets
- Running toilets
- Pressure on the pipes
- Wear and tear on appliances
Water pressure regulators are considered safety devices rather than luxury ones. If you do not have a working water pressure regulator in place, it can lead to the water pressure getting too high and damaging your fixtures. It can also cause the water pressure to get too low, which could render your taps/faucets useless or your showering experience uncomfortable or ineffective.
While you may be tempted to try a DIY solution and replace or fix your regulator yourself, this can cause serious damage to your plumbing system. All water pressure regulator services should be handled by an experienced professional.
Signs your pressure regulator may need attention
- Pipes that bang or hammer when a faucet or appliance shuts off
- Faucets that drip or toilets that refill on their own
- Leaks at appliance supply hoses, such as a washing machine or dishwasher
- Water pressure that suddenly rises or drops throughout the property
- A water heater relief valve that drips
A plumber can confirm the cause by measuring your water pressure with a gauge, then adjust, repair or replace the regulator as needed.
